The Synchrony® Dual Optic Accomodating IOL and Pre-Loaded Injector
The difference between the Synchrony dual optic accommodating IOL and other lens implants is immediately apparent. Embodying a major paradigm shift in intraocular lens implants, the Synchrony IOL
is a 3-dimensional, single-piece, foldable, accommodating lens with two separate optics connected by a spring system. The device’s unique design may overcome the limitations of monovision and single-optic accommodating IOLs. It may enable patients to have sharp vision at all focal points without glasses. It may also eliminate the glare, nighttime halos and reduced contrast sensitivity so common with some other lenses.


Industry experts expect presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses to account for one-third of worldwide IOL market revenues by 2010. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently changed its policies, allowing patients to pay out-of-pocket for presbyopia-correcting IOLs while being fully covered for surgical fees.

The Synchrony dual optic accommodating IOL is provided in a pre-loaded injector, eliminating the need for surgeons to handle the lens before implantation.
This patented technology allows the Synchrony to be implanted slowly and with great control.
The 3-dimensional single-piece lens unfolds in the eye upon insertion. It features an anterior convex and posterior concave optic linked by a unique spring system.
The posterior element of the lens has more surface area than the anterior element, providing stabilization and centration for the device within the capsular bag.
The +32D anterior optic and the variable-powered, minus posterior optic work together to produce and maintain emmetropia at any distance.
